We are making some progress here. Grant is hoping to have his license approved today. He met with a carpenter at the first of the week and he can do the build out for the clinic in three weeks and it will only cost $3000. Let's hope this is all going to happen. Today he is out looking for dental equipment and he just called and let me know that he was finding some of the things he needs. We now have a car and a driver names James. So I can say "home James". The car belongs to another Grant who used to live in our apartment and his wife is named Susan. They live in China now and keep a car here that they use when they come to the Philippines. He wanted to give his old driver some employment we needed a driver and a car. So we are renting the car and the driver. It is helping both Grants. I think the other Grant maybe was one of the people who started New Skin. It is really great to have a driver because driving here is very crazy and finding a parking spot is even crazier. So when you need to go your driver takes you and picks you up when you are through. I would feel like a celebraity if it weren't for the fact that the car is a 1996 honda with a few problems. I also have a maid that comes and cleans and does the laundry once a week. That is good because I can't figure out how the washer works at all. It is plastic with several hoses coming out of it. We are feeling more at home now and have even bought some plants for our balcony. Yesterday Grant was driving our car. He did ok. He only hit the passenger side mirror twice. On Thursdays our car is only allowed to be on the road from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm. We went to the Maybuhay House in the morning for Thursday Thrills with the children. We came home and on the way home stopped and bought some plants for our balcony. Then we hurried over to the temple before 3:00. We did a session at the temple and caught a ride with a missionary couple over to the Out Back Steak House for a birthday dinner with about 12 missionary couples. They are nice to include us in their activities. We caught a ride back to the temple and got our car that we could now drive because it was after 7:00 pm. On the way home we learned that we really needed new windshield wipers. I said "Let James do it."
